Everyone loves hot sex. The stars are saying that it’s time to get it on. Lust and power can be yours.

Mars — the planet of sex, desire and drive — recently dove into the irresistible seas of Scorpio, amplifying your hunger for intimacy. This is a trend that began on Oct. 30, 2021, and will continue until Dec. 13. During this time, we will crave union — body and soul — with someone who understands the depths of what we need.

Scorpio is the zodiac sign that rules intimacy and vulnerability, so you can expect your inner animal to become extremely powerful, begging you to unleash it.

Mars is one of the co-rulers of Scorpio, meaning that the energy we will feel will be all-or-nothing — consuming us like a storm in all of the most erotic of ways. Wherever our red planet journeys, we collectively feel his energy so strongly because he burns hot and is unafraid to encourage us to get what we want.

That is why — no matter what you will be focused upon during this time — you’ll be especially empowered to satisfy those basic urges.

Power? Money? Love? Adventure? Mars in Scorpio will give you the determination, no matter what stands before you, to succeed.

When it comes to sex and dating, this is the purrrrrrrrrfect time to go for someone who is intense and knows what they want. It’s key to pursue a connection with someone you trust, even if there is a sense of mystery in the seduction. Sex should explore one another both physically and emotionally. Through deep connections like this, you can transform yourself and the way that you look at love and the world.

Hot tip: Bust out the taboo, the kink, the BDSM and mind games. Spend extra time on foreplay so that, when you can’t take it anymore, you go to all new limits of ecstasy.

Take a peek into a mini horoscope for your zodiac sign of what you’ll be focused on in the weeks to come — beyond just hot sex.

Prepare to feel all-or-nothing in your intimate life, Aries. You’ll be hungry to satiate your innermost needs. However, if you have any conflicting issues with a partner in business or love boiling beneath the seas, you could find that tension grows now. You could also be spending more money than usual at this time — with a greater focus on expenses, assets or investments.

Partnership will be a top priority for you, Taurus. You’ll be extremely focused on working in tandem with a business or romantic partner. Going solo will not get you as far at this time. Instead, work as a team and you’ll make immense progress on your most important goals. Finding a perfect partner will also be important, so, if single, be hunting for someone with long-term potential. If in a couple and you’re not on the same page, you could notice tension increasing between you — ready to erupt like flames.

Productivity will be a top priority for you in the weeks to come, Gemini. You’ll be crushing projects and responsibilities as quickly as possible. While your routine may be crazier than usual, it is crucial to buckle down now, as your boss, manager or clients could be very impressed with the work that you’re doing. This fiery energy may instead energize your health — giving you a surge of energy to tackle new exercise or diet goals. Set your mind on achievable goals.

Feel the surge of passion electrify your heart, Cancer. Romance, sex, dating and fun will be top priorities for you. This is one of the best times ever to put yourself out there if single to spice it up and meet attractive and arousing potential suitors. Do not let this energy go to waste! If committed, you can share in this spark, too, by bringing the fire back to reignite your chemistry and connection. If pursuing pregnancy, you’re also entering a wonderful period where you could be in luck. Last, if you are creative, this period could bring you a surge of brilliant ideas. Above all: enjoy life to the fullest now.

Domestic matters will be on the top of your mind, Leo. You’ll likely be extremely busy with moving, a renovation, relocation or redecorating home project. Prepare to make a lot of progress now! However, this fiery energy could instead be making you feel much more emotional, nostalgic or frustrated at home. Find ways to release and channel this energy rather than letting it consume you. Last, you could be asked to step in to handle an important family or parental affair. Do so with grace.

Set fire to your most important ideas and messages, Virgo. Mars will be energizing your mind and likely seeing you especially busy on a writing, speaking, advertising, marketing, social media or communications-related project. It is clear that you are passionate about what you have to say — so show it with strength and people will be in awe of you. If you are launching a major project, you’ll be able to spread the word quite well. Also, this energy could have you focused on significant legal or contractual matters. Last, if you’ve been craving some mini-vacations, you could find that you’re taking more short-distance trips during this time. Spice it up and explore while you can!

Money is the top priority on your mind right now, Libra! You appear to be spending a great deal at this time on major expenses or financing for future plans. Yet, as your expenses are increasing, you are just as likely to see your ability to make more money appearing, too! Look into a side hustle or figure out how you can make your money work for you. If eager to find a better-paying job, you could be in luck. Strike while the iron is hot!

Let the fire of adrenaline ignite your life, Scorpio! With Mars energizing your zodiac sign, your charisma, magnetism and sex appeal are unmatched. Harness that fuel to dominate everything and everyone in your path — take no prisoners! You are unstoppable at this time. Use this raw energy to launch all of your most important heartfelt goals, plans and projects that you want to have strength behind for the coming two years. Be courageous. Be bold. Be fearless. The world is following you.

As mighty Mars powers through your sector of privacy and solitude, it appears you’re hard at work on some projects behind the scenes, Sagittarius. This energy can be channeled into manifesting some of your most important goals that you’d like to launch in the year to come. Use this period to develop and brainstorm how you can strategize your way to the top — personally and professionally! However, this stir-crazy fire may have your anxiety up and your impatience high, as you’re ready to charge into new territory, but intuitively know it’s just not yet the time. Rest, recharge and be still in the moment.

You are more popular than ever, Capricorn! With Mars electrifying your social life and friendships, it is clear you’re the top invite on everyone’s guest list. You’re likely spending plenty of time having fun and catching up with many friends at events or just firing off hilarious conversations to catch up with those who you adore. You may find that you’re especially busy working toward one of your greatest aspirations at this time, too. Keep at it — you could achieve much in the coming weeks! Last to mention is that if you’re single, try your hand at online dating or meeting someone new through your network. A sexy friend or acquaintance may even step up to show their interest. Don’t hold back if you’re ready for hot chemistry that could build toward something more.

Prepare for a surge of momentum around your professional life, Aquarius! With Mars energizing the crown of your chart, you are likely working extremely hard in your career and building toward greater echelons of success than ever before. Promotions, bigger projects, awards or recognition could be right before your eyes! If you’re launching a major announcement, campaign or project, know that you have the stars on your side to make a major impact. However, if for some reason you are not fulfilled in your career, you could instead be feeling stir-crazy and realize it’s time to go in a new direction. Use the energy to make changes now.

New horizons are calling to you, Pisces. With the stars aligning so beautifully for you, it is time to pursue further wisdom and personal development. You could be seeking to expand into new professional, academic or spiritual territory — taking in more wisdom about the world. Some Pisceans will be hard at work on an academic or media project, ready to debut it before the world. One other way this could affect you is that you’re especially focused on travel, immigration or interacting with people and places far from you. That could be internationally or just with others who are from a very different culture or background. Open your eyes and let yourself fly.
